Quotes Poetry The fragrant rose blossoms in the garden;It seems to me, this is the face of my Fairest.The tulip in the green meadow appears to the eyeAs the face of the Beloved sitting beside me.From afar, the intoxicated narcissusIs my Sweetheart's eye looking out for me.When I see the violets, I say to myself:'These are his locks, or else my emaculated body.'
